The APS Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowships program will fund up to 24 fellowships during the summer of 2009. These fellowships are to support full-time undergraduate students to work in the laboratory of an established investigator. The intent of this program is to excite and encourage students to pursue a career as a basic research scientist. Faculty sponsors/advisors must be active members of the APS in good standing.
 

These Fellowships provide:

$4,000 summer stipend to the student (10 weeks support)

$300 grant to the faculty sponsor/advisor

up to $1,300 travel award/reimbursement to the student so that he/she may attend and present their data at the APS annual meeting (Experimental Biology 2010) or a 2010 APS fall Conference.
